' -LATHING SHEET;

' 1 Application. filed November if; invention relates to ags'heetlathing Aorli'ioundation yupon-which is imposed the rinterior plaster nish of buildings, and has foritspbject to providel a simple andefficient. Istructural formation of aL lathing sheet capable c of.' easy and economical production and which while affording anetiicient vfoundationffor theplasterfrequires but a minimum amount of the same'in forming the .necessary"backingfand which has novel. p

means thereon to provide the necessary .clinching bond between the plaster and the lathing' sheet. v

Another important ,Vobject'of the invention is to provide a sheet lathlng or lfounda- .tion of this nature whichV will eliminate the great waste of material incident to the pushing of plaster on ordinary lathing nowv in common use wherein a certain amount of the plaster is forcedk between the laths toform keys.

Another very important object of the invention lies in theprovision of al lathing sheet which may be conveniently and readily rolledup into a compact bundle for shipping and storing purposes and from which 'roll it may be easily and quickly unwound for application to the studding of the building. .n

lVith the above and numerous other objects in View as will appear as the description proceeds, the` invention resides in cer-A tain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described Y and claimed.

In the drawings z y Figure 1 is a plan view of'a lathing. sheetj applied to studding in accordance with the principles of my invention,

Fig. 2 is a detaill section taken there- V through Fig. 1,'

substantially on the line 2 -2 of Fig. 3 is a erspective View showing a portion of one o the lath strips before vthe same is perforated, v

\Fig. 4 is a t lathing sheet showing a modified form `of the invention,

' Referriiigkto the. drawing in `detail and same manner as the fragmentary plan view of a 22,1936.' serial No. 15am-.I1 ,.1

particularly to,L 5-inclusive,

seen that the.numeralsj.denote-vertically y disposed studdings that *are commonly pro'- lvided inthe 'ordinary building structure to form the wallslinthe' interiorandfexterior of rooms, buildings, 'and the like. -Thefnu-l,

When the sheetv isapplied tothe studding 5 as is shown in Figglv the lath' strips 7 extend horizontally in; spaced lparallelism and the sheet 6 be cut ,off the desired 'l A length and .nailed to the studding orotherwise secured thereto. `The plaster is'applied v Y .80

directly to this lathing sheet or foundation and sufiicient of the plaster will pass vinto. the collars so thatthe plaster when set will i be sufficiently locked tothe practical purposes. f 1

I Figs. 4, 5 and 6I haveshown another sheet `6 for all ser.,

'embodiment vof the invention *wherein fthe sheet 6 is formed with pairsl of slits 12, and in the preferred of this` modification the series of slitsl 12and stripsv 13 therebetween will have an alternated or staggered relation'ship to eachother with 'their ends terminating shortof each otherv as distinguished i from an overlapping relationship. Y .The lath, strips 7 are identical in formation with those previously described and extend through the ther fasteningelements are necessary. V.This

.modification will be used in identically the I `embodiment described in the beginning. Y s

From lthe above detailed description it will be seen that this 4lathing sheetor foundation is much more quickly and cheaply nailed in place than they ordinary'laths each of which` f Y i has to be handled separately and nailed lin place separately in a certain predetermined spaced relation. This. 'lathing lsheet. or

jagged edged collars enable the plastererto obtain the necessary'clinching grip.

It is thought that the construction,u-tility,

vand advantages of this invention'will now art Withoutf a more detailed description thereof; .The present embodiment of 'the inhas been disclosedin detail merely l' er by .Way of'exainple since in actual practice it 'attainsvtle {features' of advantage enu# 'mora-ted tts-desirable in the statement of the 'invention j and the 'above Y description.'
